Just a quick question

[OldGrouch]

I just now registered for this forum. I have installed WattOS R12 on 2 of my laptops. I really like what I have seen so far. I went to the WattOS forum, but before I registered I noticed quite a few threads about how they moved their REAL forum to Discord. There were a few guys and gals that said they have been unable to login because every time they try, they get a message that they have to have a text sent to their cell phones for verification. I refuse to mess with something like that. I don't like ANY of the social disease websites, as I call them. It seems really weird to me that a Linux distro would place all of their users data and security in jeopardy.

Anyway, while searching for some place I could ask questions without having to mess with a social site, I found this forum. Shouldn't I be able to get most, if not all, my questions about WattOS answered here?

Looking forward to reading comments. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the LXDE Forums. We are a small forum and it may take a while for your question about LXDE to be answered. We of course are not operating system specific. For questions about your particular operating system, you probably need to go else where. For questions about your desktop environment (LXDE), this is the correct place. The number of operating systems using LXDE has decreased but there are still a goodly number of them out there.
